APPLICANTS. 



A patent may be obtained by any person who has 
invented or discovered any new and useful art, ma- 

1 chine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any 
new and useful improvement thereof, not known or 
used by others in this country, and not patented or 
described in any printed publication in this or any 
foreign country, before his invention or discovery 
thereof, or more than two years prior to his applica- 
tion, and not in public use or on sale in the United 
States for more than two years prior to his applica- 
tion, unless the same is proved to have been aban- 
doned ; and by any person who, by his own industry, 
genius, efforts, and expense, has invented and pro- 
duced any new and original design for a manufacture, 

| bust, statue, alto-relievo, or bas-relief; any new and 

! original impression, ornament, pattern, print or 
picture to be printed, painted, cast or otherwise 
placed on or worked into any article of manufacture ; 
or any new, useful, and original shape or configura- 
tion of any article of manufacture, the same not having 
been known nor used by others before his invention 



or production thereof, nor patented nor described in 
any printed publication. 

If it appear that the inventor, at the time of mak- 
ing his application, believed himself to be the first 
inventor or discoverer, a patent will not be refused 
on account of the invention or discovery, or any 
part thereof, having been known or used in any for- 
eign country before his invention or discovery thereof, 
if it had not been before patented or described in any 
printed publication. 

Joint inventors are entitled to a joint patent; 
neither can claim one separately. Independent in- 
ventors of distinct and independent improvements 
in the same machine cannot obtain a joint patent for 
their separate inventions ; nor does the fact that one 
furnishes the capital and another makes the invention 
entitle them to make application as joint inventors ; 
but in such case they may become joint patentees. 

The receipt of letters patent from a foreign gov- 
ernment will not prevent the inventor from obtaining 
a patent in the United States unless the application , 
on which the foreign patent was granted was filed i 
more than seven months prior to the filing of the ap- 
plication in this country, in which case no patent 
shall be granted in this country. 



A United States patent gives the exclusive right to 
make, use and vend the invention secured by it for 
the term of seventeen years.

tents, Trade-marks, Copyrights, etc., should be addressed to

AS TO THE NOVELTY OF AN INVENTION. 

An experience of half a dozen years as an appren- 
tice and journeyman in New England machine shops 
and five years' experience in the office of a prominent 
patent lawyer, which tended to give me a practical 
knowledge of mechanics and of the theory and prac- 
tice of patent law and patent soliciting, enables me 
to form a reasonably correct idea as to the patenta- 
bility of an invention by giving it an examination 
personally. This service I render to my clients 
gratis. It is, however, frequently advisable to have a 
special examination made of the Patent Office 
records to ascertain whether an invention is probably 
patentable. This entails a great deal of labor, to 
cover the cost of which I make a charge of $5 to $10. 
While this preliminary examination does not deter- 
mine positively whether an invention is patentable, it 
often decides that it is not patentable, by pointing 
out some prior patent or invention of substantially 
the same character; and where, as in such a case, 
the report is unfavorable, the entire expense of a 
patent application is saved. 



Persons who write for such information as is given gratis will 
please remember to enclose a stamp for reply. 



COST OF SECURING A PATENT. 

Sixty-seven dollars covers the entire expense of a 
patent for a simple invention requiring but one draw- 
ing and a specification of not more than iooo words. 
The fees are distributed as follows : 

First government fee $15.00 

Agency Fee 30.00 

Incidental expense (Express, pos- 
tage, etc.) 2.00 

Cost of the application $47.00 

Final government fee 20 00 

Total $67.00 

The government fees are the same in all cases, 
but it frequently happens that so much labor is in- 
volved in the specification and drawing that the 
agency fee quoted above is insufficient. 

The applicant will be advised what the cost will be 
in any particular case. 

If I undertake to make application for a patent, I 
require $25 cash advance, $22 on execution of pa- 
pers and $20 (final government fee) on allowance of 
patent. 



HOW TO PROCEED TO OBTAIN A PATENT. 

i st. Bring or send a model, photograph or sketch 
of the invention, if a mechanical one, or a design. If 
it is a composition of matter, send samples of each 
ingredient, also a sample of the composition. If it is 
a process, bring or send sketches if they will assist in 
making the process clear. 

2nd. In any case give me or send me as full a 
description of the invention as possible, giving all its 
uses and describing the various modifications of 
which it is susceptible. 

3rd. Remit or bring $25 on account. If sent, 
the money should be sent by P. O. money order, by 
draft, or by express. Money sent in any other way 
is liable to be lost. 

On receipt of these I immediately prepare the 
drawing and specification and mail or present the 
papers for signature, etc., at the same time calling for 
the balance of the agency fee and the first government 
fee. When the papers are returned to me I forward 
them at once to the Patent Office, where they are filed. 
The applicant is notified of every important action of 
the examiners, and is consulted in regard to amend- 
ments whenever they are necessary. When the pa- 
tent is allowed the applicant is notified and the final 



government fee ($20) is called for. This fee must 
be paid within six months from the date of allowance, 
and the applicant is advised to pay it as early as pos- 
sible if there are no special reasons for delay. 

The patent issues in about three weeks after the 
payment of the final fee. 



PREPARATION OF THE CASE. 

The cases of my clients receive my personal atten- 
tion from the moment they are taken in hand to the 
last action on the part of the Patent Office. I prepare 
the specification with great care and draw the claims 
with a view to covering all the inventor is entitled to. 

Since the decision some years since relating to re- 
issues, it has become a matter of the greatest imp )r- 
tance to the inventor to have his application properly 
prepared, as it is now impossible to obtain reissues on 
the same conditions as formerly, and it is possible 
only in rare cases to obtain a reissue at all. 

In order to realize from an invention, not only must 
the invention itself be valuable, but it must be pro- 
tected by a good and valid patent. A poor patent 
does not protect the manufacturer, and no capitalist 
will invest in an improvement that is not well protected.

CAVEATS. 



A caveat, under the patent law, is a notice given to 
the office of the caveator's claim as inventor, in order 
to prevent the grant of a patent to another for the 
same alleged invention upon an application filed dur- 
ing the life of the caveat without notice to the caveator. 

Any citizen of the United States who has made a 
new invention or discovery and desires further time 
to mature the same, may file in the Patent Office a 
caveat setting forth the object and the distinguishing 
characteristics of the invention and praying protection 
of his right until he shall have matured his invention. 

The caveat is filed in the confidential archives of 
the Patent Office and preserved in secrecy for the 
term of one year from the filing thereof. 

An alien has the same privilege if he has resided in 
the United States one year next preceding the filing 
of his caveat and has made oath of his intention to 
become a citizen. 

The caveat must comprise a specification, oath, and, 
when the nature of the case admits of it, a drawing, 
and like the application, must be limited to a single 
invention or improvement. 

A caveat may be renewed from year to year. 

Cost of filing a caveat affording protection for one 
year : 

Government fee, $10.00 

Agency fee (For one sheet of drawings), 1 7.00 

Total, $27.00 



11 



DESIGNS. 

A patent for a design may be granted to any per- 
son, whether citizen or alien, upon payment of the 
duty required by law and other due proceedings had, 
as in other cases of inventions or discoveries. 

Patents for designs are granted for the term of three 
and one-half years, or for seven years, or for fourteen 
years, as the applicant may in his application elect. 

When the design can be sufficiently represented 
by drawings or photographs, a model will not be re- 
quired. 

Whenever a photograph or an engraving is em- 
ployed to illustrate the design, the applicant will be 
required to furnish twelve copies of such photograph 
or engraving (not mounted), of a size not exceeding 
7 A inches by 1 1. 

The cost of a design patent for 3.J years is : 

Government fee, $10.00 

Agency fee, 20.00 

Total S30.00 

For seven years the government fee is $15.00, and 
for fourteen years the government fee is $30.00, while 
the agency tec is invariable. 



12 

TRADE-MARKS. 

Any person, firm, or corporation may register a 
trade-mark by complying with the rules of the Patent 
Office. It is immaterial whether the trade-mark has 
been long in use or not. Trade- marks continue in 
force for thirty years, and may be renewed for thirty 
years more. 



The entire expense of registering a label or print to 
be used on merchandise is $21 (government fee $6, 
agency fee $15.) On receipt of six copies of the 
label or print and twenty-one dollars, I prepare the 
papers and file them in the Patent Office, and as soon 
thereafter as possible forward to the applicant the cer- 
tificate of registration. 

Copyrights for labels remain in force for twenty- 
eight years and may be extended for fourteen years 
more. 



COPYRIGHT. 



A book, map, chart, dramatic or musical composi- 
tion, engraving, cut, print, photograph, or the de- 



13 

scription of a painting, drawing, chromo, statue, 
statuary, or model or design for a work of the fine 
arts may be copyrighted. 

To secure a valid copyright, the title or description 
must be recorded in the Library of Congress before 
the publication of the work. 

Within ten days after publication of each book or 
other article, two complete copies of the best edition 
issued must be sent to the Librarian of Congress to 
perfect the copyright. 

Copyrights are granted for twenty-eight years and 
may be renewed for fourteen years more if the re- 
newal is filed within six months before the expiration 
of the first term. 

To secure a copyright send the title, and in case of 
a work of art send a brief description and remit £5, 
which covers all expenses. 



ASSIGNMENTS. 



An invention may be assigned before or after the 
application for a patent or after the issue of the 
patent. An inventor may assign the whole or any 
part thereof, and he may authorize the issue of the 
patent to the assignee or assignees. 



The cost of drawing an assignment and recording 
it at the Patent Office is $5. 



REJECTED CASES. 



A\ inventor should never despair on account of a 
rejection at the Patent Office. Many cases given up 
by inventors and persons inexperienced in practice be- 
fore the Patent Office have been revived and prose- 
cuted to a successful issue. I will get a patent if it is 
among the possibilities. 



COPIES OF PATENTS. 

Printed copies of the specification, together with 
the drawings of any patent granted since January 1, 
1866, furnished for 25 cents each, provided the name 
of the inventor and date or number of the patent is 
furnished. If only the name of the inventor or the 
name of the invention can be furnished, 75 cents ad- 
ditional will be charged for looking the matter up.

THE FACULTY OF INVENTING. 

This faculty as popularly understood is possessed to 
a greater or less degree by every person, and is con- 
stantly active in the daily routine of life. Inventing, 
as the dictionary has it, is " contriving that which did 
not before exist," but it cannot be claimed that man 
has creative power, nor can he do otherwise than use 
what already exists in the great storehouse of nature. 
The fundamental principles are all there and available 
to one possessing sufficient acumen to see them. 

The obtuseness and blindness of men are never 
more fully realized than when some inventor with 
more penetration than his fellows sees an opportunity 
for invention, invents, and acquires wealth by bringing 
into existence some simple contrivance that is imme- 
diately adopted and asserts itself as a necessity, when 
everybody says "Why didn't some one think of that 
before? " 

It all seems easy enough and natural enough after 
it is done, and is it a wonder why it was not done be- 
fore. The trouble is that inventors and many who 
might be inventors do not school themselves to sys- 
tematize observation. They should have eyes in all 
directions; they should let no observed phenomena 
gO uninvestigated ; they should revolve every subject 



16 

so as to see its bearings on everything relating to it. 
No machine, no process, no tool, coming under ihe ob- 
servation of the inventor should be allowed to pass 
without raising such questions as these : Can this de- 
vice be made to yield better results than it does now? 
Can it be made to do its work quicker and cheaper 
than it does now? Can its construction be simplified 
or cheapened? Can power be economized? Can 
something else simpler and cheaper be devised for 
the same purpose? A real inventor never tires, and 
he not only scrutinizes the inventions of others, but 
treats his own in the same manner. His object is to 
improve wherever an opportunity presents itself and 
to secure to himself the benefits of such improvements. 

Curiously enough, although nature had shown from 
the foundation of the universe that molecules of water 
fly from each other with great force when subjected to 
heat, this force was not fully utilized until the days of 
Watt. Nearly all of the great inventions of modern 
times have substantially the same history as that of 
the steam engine. The principles existed and so did 
the materials, but centuries were required to develop 
the inventions. 

A future of vast possibilities lies before the inventor 
of to-day, especially with the utilization of electrical 



17 

energy, and with push, perseverance, and a cultivated 
faculty of inventing, great prizes are within his reach. 
Invention is not confined to any one class of men, 
or to men in any one walk in life. A man may be en- 
gaged in a manufacturing, a commercial, or a pro- 
fessional career, he may be either master or servant, 
or he may be neither one of all these, and without 
deviating from his ordinary paths he may invent some- 
thing, — simple, it may be, — which will make him in- 
dependently wealthy. His head is his workshop an 1 
his ideas are the m iterials which he works and weaves 
into a structure which may give him "wealth an 1 
place, — with grace." And because one man or more 
have failed in perfecting an invention is no reason why 
another should not seek to accomplish the desired ob- 
ject, for a slight variation may make a vast difference 
in the result. 



FOREIGN PATENTS. 



As a rule, foreign patents are equally as valuable as 
are American patents. 

The cost of foreign patents, with the possible ex- 
ception of a Canadian patent f or a term of five years, 
exceeds that of an American patent, and the mode 



18 

of obtaining them, the requirements, and the term of 
the patents vary in different countries. 



THE VALUE OF PATENTS. 

Naturally the inventor is not so anxious about how 
much his invention will advance civilization or build 
up the nation, or administer to the wants and pleasures 
of mankind generally, as he is about how much it will 
net him in dollars and cents; but he must not forget 
that in proportion to the actual usefulness of an in- 
vention and its adaptability to some great want felt by 
every one, is the chance of profit. And it matters 
little whether the inventor intends himself to deal 
with the public or to deal with a man or set of men 
who are afterward to deal with the public, — the con- 
ditions are the same. 

Let the inventor consider himself a disinterested 
party, a referee, if you please. Let him look upon his 
own invention as that of another. If he honestly con- 
cludes that it would be desirable to himself and 
others, then he should have great confidence in the 
merit of his invention and he should be able to make 
a fair estimate of the actual value of it. Having made 
such an estimate, he should allow for all contingencies 



19 

and then deduct what would be to the buyer a fair 
margin of profit ; then he will have a basis on which 
to proceed in fixing the price of the patent, if he pro- 
poses to sell it. 

The inventor who has confidence in his own work 
is, generally speaking, the best man to transact the 
business of selling his patent. His best plan of pro- 
cedure is to appeal personally to capitalists. It is 
usually easy enough to find a man who is willing to 
furnish the capital necessary to carry on business un- 
der a good patent for a good thing. Often capitalists 
prefer to purchase outright. It is common to sell 
patents to a set of men who organize a stock com- 
pany to work under it. A large proportion of stock 
companies are based on patents. 

I do not engage in the purchase or sale of patents. 



OPINIONS. 



Manufacturers and capitalists desiring to invest in 
patents, and honest inventors who desire to dispose 
of their patents, should have a careful investigation 
made as to the status of the patent in question. This 
involves a great deal of labor and some expense, de- 



pending, of course, on the number of patents in the 
class or classes to be examined, and also upon the 
state of the art to which the invention relates. The 
price for making such investigations is variable, but 
an estimate will be furnished in any particular case on 
application. 

A reliable investigation of this kind gives assurance 
to all parties interested, and is invaluable to all con- 
cerned. 



Any one receiving an extra copy of this book will 
confer a favor by giving it to some one interested in 
inventions. 



FURTHER INFORMATION. 
Hundreds of questions will occur to the inventor's 
mind relative to securing patents and other matters 
connected with inventions, which are not answered in 
these pages. Indeed, it would be a difficult task to 
gather together in a volume of any size, answers to all 
the queries put by inventors; but the writer holds 
himself ready to reply to any questions that may be 



21 

presented in person or by letter, and he cordially in- 
vites any desiring personal interviews or advice by let- 
ter to call or write. 



Persons who write for such information as is given gratis 
rill please remember to enclose a stamp for reply.

CELERITY IN PATENT BUSINESS. 

There was a time when it was thought by inven- 
tors that the process of patenting an invention might 
be hastened by bringing influence of one kind or an- 
other to bear at the Patent Office. Whatever founda- 
tion this supposition may have had, it is now well un- 
derstood that a patent cannot be hurried through the 
Patent Office out of its regular course. The only 
way to save time in securing patents is to intrust the 
business to an attorney, who will prepare the appli- 
cation and file it at the Patent Office promptly and 
who will vigorously follow up every action of the ex- 
aminer and prosecute the case to a final issue with- 
out unnecessary delay. The Patent Office, while it is 
sometimes overburdened with business, is usually very 
prompt, acting on cases in from four to six weeks from 
the (1 ite of filing. 

I copy from the last edition of Rules of Practice 
the following : 

" An applicant is advised, unless familiar with such 
matters, to employ a competent attorney, as the value 
of patents depends largely upon the skillful prepara- 
tion of the specification anJ claims. The office can- 
D >t aid in the selection of an attorney." " Members 



'of Congress can neither examine nor act in patent 
cases without written powers of attorney." 

The matter of fees is covered unier the different 
heads in the foregoing text, but in occasional (it may 
be said, rare) cases, where extraordinary complica- 
tions arise, there are other government and agency 
fees, — as, for instance, in the matter of filing a dis- 
claimer, or an application for a reissue or for a divi- 
sion of a reissue, or an appeal for a primary examiner, 
or an appeal to the Commissioner, etc.

KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR INVENTION. 

The value of an accurate record of an invention 
throughout its entire history cannot be over-estimated. 
It is often of great value, even after a patent is granted. 
It fixes the date of invention, shows whether the in- 
ventor has exercised due diligence in perfecting his 
invention, and is an unimpeachable witness in cases 
of interference or any other litigation that may arise. 
Besides this, it enables the inventor to convey to his 
attorney a more perfect idea of his invention and 
what he desires to cover in his specification and 
chims. This record may be placed temporarily in 
the han Is of the attorney to enable him to prepare 
the case, and then it should be returned intact to 
the inventor. Of course the inventor should be care- 
ful to select an attorney known to be reliable. The 
inventor may, if he choose, retain the record in his 
own possession and send a copy of it to his attorney.
